The State of
the World's Children 1998 focuses on malnutrition, the silent
and invisible emergency that exacts a terrible toll on children and
their families. The world has an obligation to protect the right of
children to good nutrition, building on experience and scientific
knowledge. Action is both possible and imperative.

The Progress
of Nations 1997 assesses not only such basic social conditions
as health, nutrition, education and water and sanitation, but also
progress and disparity in areas that are more difficult to measure but
also have a profound impact on children's lives, such as violence
against girls and women and special protections for children.

The
Silent Shout, adapted from a UNICEF co-produced film, warns of
landmines, the most persistent and lethal weapons against children.

A new Voices of Youth forum takes up the issue of
child labour. Children
at Work features stories, photos and a quiz on children
working in factories and homes, on farms and on the streets.

Child labour has been
much in the news in recent years and is the subject of an international
conference in Oslo, 27-30 October 1997. But what really is child labour,
where are working children found, what work do they actually do? Can you
tell myth from reality? Find out more.
